Greetings, Niels Kristian Jensen!

A long known issue.
mintty holds terminal open if last program finished with failure.
ssh somehow tripping this wire on occasion.
OK.
This may seem like a minor thing, but we have much trouble with
Jenkins
builds (started via Cygwin OpenSSH) which randomly hang forever - I
wonder
if this could be a clue in this investigation.

Try upgrading your mintty, also, if it's about automated building
environment,
I don't see how's mintty can be involved.
If the "non-closure" of mintty is completely internal in mintty and not
a handshake-mistake with the cygwin dll or the OS, then I agree. It
seems to be the case, reading the link provided by Thomas Wolff.
For cyg Simple:
I am stuck with Cygwin 32 bit because of some tools, we use. A team is
trying to get it to work with 64 bits, but that is not there yet.
For Thomas Wolff:
The link explains return code handling in mintty & ssh. A valid reason
to update mitty.
Thank you, Andrey, cyg Simple & Thomas Wolff :-)
